Which GARANT Nicotine Pouches Are Right for You? A UK Guide to GARANT Extreme, Strengths and Flavours

GARANT nicotine pouches are best known for the GARANT Extreme range: strong, slim pouches with 27 pouches in every Extreme can instead of the usual 20. The most important thing to know before you buy is what the number on the can means. A GARANT Extreme can marked 50mg is rated at 50mg/g, which works out at about 25mg of nicotine per pouch, not 50mg. GARANT Extreme Freeze goes further, at 70mg/g or about 30.8mg per pouch.

This guide explains the GARANT strength system in plain numbers, compares every GARANT flavour we currently have in stock, and helps you choose the right can for the strength you already use. You can see the full range in our GARANT nicotine pouches collection.

What are GARANT nicotine pouches?

GARANT is a nicotine pouch brand that its own website describes as a premium brand from Estonia. The manufacturer named on the brand site is UAB Kordula, with Allium EST OÜ listed as importer and distributor. The pouches are tobacco-free: nicotine, plant-based filling and flavourings in a slim white pouch that sits under the top lip, with no smoke, no vapour and no spitting.

You will often see people search for "GARANT snus". Snus is a Swedish tobacco product, so GARANT pouches are nicotine pouches rather than snus, but they are used in exactly the same way. If you are coming from snus, the format will feel familiar.

The detail that sets GARANT apart is the can. GARANT's standard can holds 27 pouches, where most brands use 20 or 25. If you use a can every day or two, those seven extra pouches add up quickly. Browse every other brand in our main nicotine pouches range.

GARANT strength guide: why 50mg means 25mg per pouch

Nicotine pouch strength is printed in two ways. mg/g is the nicotine in each gram of pouch material. mg per pouch is the nicotine in one pouch, which is what you actually feel. GARANT names its cans by the mg/g figure, so a GARANT Extreme pouch rated at 50mg/g and weighing 0.5g holds about 25mg of nicotine. When you compare GARANT with brands that print mg per pouch, such as ZYN or VELO, use the per-pouch figure.

Extreme and Freeze figures are from GARANT's own product specifications. Regular-range per-pouch figures are approximate, because pouch weight differs between cans; each product page gives both numbers.

For context, 25mg per pouch is several times the strength of a typical 6mg or 8mg pouch. If you want to see where GARANT sits against the strongest pouches on the market, read our ranking of the strongest nicotine pouches in the UK by mg per pouch.

GARANT Extreme: the 50mg/g range

GARANT Extreme is the line most people mean when they talk about GARANT. Every standard Extreme can shares the same specification: 50mg/g, about 25mg of nicotine per pouch, 27 slim 0.5g pouches and 13.5g of pouches per can. GARANT labels these cans "Extremely Strong", and they are only for experienced users with a high nicotine tolerance. Because the strength is the same across the line, choosing an Extreme can comes down to flavour.

• GARANT Extreme Grape 50mg: GARANT describes a rich grape flavour, sweet and bold, with no cooling listed. A good pick if you want fruit without ice.
• GARANT Extreme Ice Peach 50mg: juicy peach that GARANT says combines sweetness and refreshment.
• GARANT Extreme Ice Blueberry 50mg: the sweet taste of ripe blueberries, with a fresh, fruity profile.
• GARANT Extreme Ice Melon 50mg: sweet melon that retailers describe as ending on an icy, cooling note.
• GARANT Extreme Orange 50mg: a zesty orange in the same 27-pouch Extreme can. It is a separate product from GARANT Extreme Citrus.
• GARANT Energy Drink 50mg: GARANT describes a sweet, fizzy energy drink flavour at 50mg/g. The name refers to the taste only: GARANT does not list caffeine, so treat it as a nicotine pouch, not a caffeine pouch.

GARANT also makes Extreme Cherry, Citrus, Cola, Fresh Mint, Mango Lime and Raspberry, and we list several of these in the GARANT collection when stock allows. GARANT Extreme Fresh Mint and GARANT Extreme Original are two different cans, even though both are mint.

GARANT Extreme Freeze: the strongest GARANT

GARANT Extreme Freeze is the top of the GARANT ladder. GARANT's own specification lists it at 70mg/g with about 30.8mg of nicotine per pouch, in 27 slim pouches of 0.44g each (11.8g per can). The flavour is a crisp mint, which GARANT says gives a bold and long-lasting cooling effect.

Freeze is noticeably stronger than the rest of the Extreme range, so only move up to it if 25mg pouches already feel comfortable. It is the obvious GARANT for mint fans, because almost every other Extreme flavour we stock is fruit.

The regular GARANT range: lighter cans

Below Extreme sits GARANT's regular range, which the brand lists at 18-35mg/g. Pouch weights vary across these cans, so per-pouch strength runs from roughly 8mg to about 17.5mg. That makes the regular range the better GARANT for users who find 25mg too much.

• GARANT Orange 25mg: an orange can rated at 25mg/g, about 12.5mg per pouch, in 27 slim pouches. It is half the strength of GARANT Extreme Orange, so it is the easy way to keep the flavour and drop the nicotine.
• GARANT Melon 25mg: a sweet melon from the regular range, for when Extreme Ice Melon is stronger than you want.

Other regular GARANT cans, including Ice Cool, Mint, Double Ice, Ice Blueberry, Mango Lime and Menthol, come and go with supply. Check the GARANT collection for what is available today. Several GARANT cans also appear in our £1.99 nicotine pouch range.

GARANT flavour guide: fruity, icy or mint?

GARANT leans heavily towards fruit. The word "Ice" in a GARANT name does not always mean a strong chill: GARANT's own descriptions of Ice Peach and Ice Blueberry focus on the fruit, while retailers describe Ice Melon as finishing cold. If you want real cooling, Freeze is the one to choose.

Fruity GARANT pouches

• Sweet and bold, no ice: Extreme Grape (50mg/g).
• Soft, juicy fruit: Extreme Ice Peach and Extreme Ice Blueberry (50mg/g).
• Melon with a cold finish: Extreme Ice Melon (50mg/g), or Melon 25mg for a lighter can.
• Citrus: Extreme Orange (50mg/g), or Orange 25mg at about 12.5mg per pouch.
• Sweet and fizzy: Energy Drink (50mg/g).

Compare these with every other brand in our fruity nicotine pouches collection.

Mint GARANT pouches

• Crisp mint, maximum cooling: Extreme Freeze (70mg/g, about 30.8mg per pouch).

Which GARANT pouch should you buy?

Start from the strength you use now and match it to the closest GARANT can.

• You use 6-12mg pouches today: start with the regular range, such as GARANT Orange 25mg at about 12.5mg per pouch.
• You already use 20-25mg pouches: GARANT Extreme is your level. For fruit without ice, try Extreme Grape; for something softer, Extreme Ice Peach.
• You want the strongest GARANT and you like mint: GARANT Extreme Freeze, about 30.8mg per pouch.
• You want the most pouches for your money: GARANT, because its standard can holds 27 pouches instead of 20.
• You are new to nicotine pouches: GARANT Extreme is not the place to start. Begin with our light nicotine pouches (0-6mg) and work up.

Torn between two strengths? Choose the lower one. You can always move up, and a pouch that is too strong is unpleasant, not better.

How to use GARANT pouches

1. Take one pouch from the can.
2. Place it between your upper lip and gum.
3. Leave it there. You will feel a tingle as the nicotine releases. Do not chew or swallow it.
4. Remove it when you are ready. Many people keep a pouch in for around 20-40 minutes, and often less with Extreme or Freeze.
5. Put the used pouch in the lid compartment or a bin.

With a 25mg or 30.8mg pouch, use one at a time and never double up. Keep cans closed, in a cool, dry place, and out of reach of children and pets.
